Treehouse team, please consider developing a "Introduction to Electrical science" course

Not all beginner and junior programmers necessarily have much knowledge about electricity topics like what is an electric circuit, what is a transistor, or a battery, etc. Not everyone learned about this in their previous schools and/or academic studies.

Please consider making a course that will make an introduction to some basic terms in electrical science and will show in a very general way, how some electrical processes can be manipulated with programming.

They should make a course about how to make robots with the Raspberry Pi.

I fully agree this is needed as well. Actually I once recommended here to TreeHouse to make an introduction to robotics course.

It should be noted thought that intro to electricity is basis for many topics in robotics and embedded systems in general.

I agree with both of you. My school's physics teacher and IT director suggested I try arduino or Raspberry Pi because they knew I had interest in computer programming and engineering in general. I got an arduino set but the language is not near as well explained on the guide as Treehouse can explain programming. It would be fun for Treehouse to try to expand into things like robotics and the actual sciences behind engineering.

I love my high school but there's a lot of classes I wish treehouse had compared to me taking them at my actual high school :D although I suppose I prefer Treehouse to focus most on programming and get some great classes in that field (Like they've been doing this whole time) compared to putting energy and resources into different fields.
